Xue Tao ('Great Waves') (?-834)  Thousand piled-up cloud peaks, ten-thousand vast lakes, White waves divide, wrap around Sorceress Wu. In jest you know, pillow talk meaning, Deep is the mouth of the Qutang Gorge.

Notes: Notes; "Translation is both necessary and necessarily flawed. It is necessary because we want a clear rendition of the text from a foreign language. It is necessarily flawed because so much of the original has no equivalent-or only an approximate equivalent- in the language of translation." From the introduction by Zhaoming Qian to 'Ezra Pound and China', University of Michigan Press.
